In our five years as tipi camp ashevillewe found that cotton canvas tipis do not withstand our mountain climate. Because ofthis we no longer offer a tipi as a sleeping lodge. They were beautiful while they lasted....

One very important (and much loved) feature at camp is our bathhouse, a converted 1966 Airstream Trailer. Her name is Lucille and she is outfitted with two toilet rooms, two bath sinks and a separate shower room.This is also where you get your morning cup of java.

With the growing popularity of the automobile in the early 1900's people set out on the roadways of rural America just to enjoy the ride and to visit different places of interest along the way. Tourist Camps, hosted by friendly folks, popped up on private properties all along the back roads in between towns as an inexpensive alternative to hotel stays. Beds, sheets, towels, showers and toilets were offered to the Tourist Camp guests and many often enjoyed an evening by a campfire sharing stories of where they had traveled and what they had found interesting on their way. The Tourist Camp was not only a place to lay your head at night but an opportunity to meet fellow travelers you might not have the chance to know just in passing in the halls of a downtown hotel.out under the stars is modeled after those Tourist Camps from days gone by. Since opening in 2009 we have enjoyed the company of adventurers from all across the U.S. as well as Germany, Ireland, France, England and Australia! ! ...and we look forward to meeting you,Jay and Lani Linkotter,your camp hosts
